Two Azerbaijani bloggers were sentenced to jail on Wednesday. Charged with "hooliganism", the pair were arrested shortly after posting a satirical video online which mocked the government's alleged purchase of a dozen - suspiciously priced - 41,000 dollar donkeys from Germany. After already four months of detention, Adnan Hajizade and Emin Milli are now beginning sentences of two years, and two years six months, respectively. They were charged for fighting with a pair of men in a cafe in Baku, something which they immediately reported to the police as an unprovoked attack, but which led to their arrest the same...

When Sarah Palin's big-bucks memoir "Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin" comes out Nov. 17, there'll be another book about her hitting the stores the same day: "Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, an American Nightmare." The "Rouge" book, with a similar name and cover, will be put out by a new company, OR Books, says Publisher's Marketplace, which says it will be composed of "essays assembled by Nation editors Richard Kim and Betsy Reed." Marketplace adds that "it promises 'progressive perspectives on Sarah Palin's political career' by writers including Naomi Klein, Jane Mayer, Katha Pollitt, Jim Hightower, Christopher Hayes,...

Pulling off a double-parody can be a daunting enterprise, but this one makes a laudable (and humorous) effort to spoof both Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” and Obama’s Nobel Peace Rhetoric Prize. The author proclaims that she was inspired by Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC). Video: Obamanizer

Here is video of Rush Limbaugh's parody of children singing to Obama "Battle Hymn of the Rush Limbaugh." (Video)

This weekend "Saturday Night Live" opened with Fred Armisen as President Obama, delivering an address from the Oval Office. Noting up front that he'd failed to secure the 2016 Olympic Games for Chicago, Armisen's Obama said it was just further proof that his detractors' fears are unfounded: How could he transform the country into something resembling the former Soviet Union or Nazi Germany when he's failed to accomplish anything at all? "When you look at my record," he said, "it's very clear what I've done so far, and that is nothing." But are SNL's accusations of Obama being a do-nothing...

See this awesome video song sung by fake Obama to the tune of American Pie, by Don McLean.

Wow, no one saw this coming, apparently President Obama's rejection in Copenhagen had more of an effect then first thought. This explains alot and especially the way he was looking today, one day after getting kicked to the curb on the world stage.

Copenhagen – An International Criminal Court judge has ordered that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) resume counting in the selection process for the host city of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Judge Enrique Castro, appointed to the court last year by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and nephew of the Cuban President Raul Castro, ordered a stunned IOC to resume vote counting late Friday. Judge Castro issued an emergency injunction after receiving multiple complaints of voter disenfranchisement by community activist groups Community Organizers International (COI), the Organization of American States (OAS) and Hezbollah. COI chairwoman Valerie Jarrett voiced her organization’s approval...

I don't know if this has already been posted. If it has, I missed it. A very sad, but true (and probably funny) parody of the Obama Administration.

If you’ve been keeping abreast of the latest environmental news than you’ve already heard that plush toilet paper is bad for the planet. No doubt you’ve wanted to do your part. Well, if you’ve got Al Gore’s back he’s got yours because one good environmental movement deserves another. Introducing the Re-Usab-Al!

Said one congressional staffer, “It’s Obama’s legislation, why shouldn’t he be covered as well?”

In this parody, Barack Obama sings about the day his plan for National Health Care died. “The Day ObamaCare Died” was written by Paul Shanklin and performed on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show. The graphics and animation are by HerBunk Productions. VIDEO: “The Day ObamaCare Died” by Barack Obama

Washington DC - After a series of fits and starts the White House today announced it has come into full compliance the tough new environmental standards set forth by congress this year. President Obama, once known for the brilliant, angelic radiance that accompanied him wherever he campaigned, has converted his beaming glow into a more energy-friendly Compact Flourescent Halo or CFH.

Raleigh, NC - In a ordinary working class neighborhood here in the North Carolina capital local police officer Michael Jenson patrols on foot. It is, he says, the best way to establish a rapport with the children and teens that live along his beat. That rapport is needed to “get ahead” of the kids as they approach the deadly pitfalls awaiting them. “I have to be able to warn them,” says Ofc. Jenson. “I have to let them know. It’s like they’re my own kids.” These days the biggest danger Ofc. Jenson fears is the growing use of Placebos.

Abbotsford, WI - This sleepy midwestern town had been the scene of much fanfare in recent months. Struggling under the burden of a lingering economic recession the population of 2,000 residents were expecting relief from an adminsitration many here had campaigned for as the panacea to the nation’s financial woes. Plucked from obscurity by White House economic policy staffers eager to demonstrate the efficacy of Obama’s stimulus programs, Abbotsford was do to receive its first major installment under the provisions of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act until a confluence of innocuous events conspired to unleash tragedy.

Geneva, Switzerland - Dr. Hans Furter has been tracking tales of genocide for over 4 decades. From the Pol Pot’s killing fields of Cambodia to Slobodan Milosevic’s campaign of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugolsav Republic, Dr. Furter says he had thought he had seen it all before but now he says evidence is surfacing that may implicate the United States and President Barack Obama in tale of mass killings that, if proven true, would rival the Stalinist purges.

....Last week, in one of the most baldly racist diatribes I have heard on American radio, the biggest figure in the conservative movement, Rush Limbaugh, noticed that there had been a ruckus on a school bus in which a white kid was stomped on by a black kid. The incident, it turned out, was a classic school bus bully story: the white kid was being tormented and the bullies were refusing to let him sit down. There was no racial rhetoric in a bus full of black kids and white kids. But this is what Limbaugh said: “In Obama’s America,...

I am writing this column because some lone voice in the wilderness has to speak the truth to power about how you conservatives are ruining your own lives, this country, and, yes, even the entire planet. If Gaia herself could speak to you, she would give you troglodytes a tongue-lashing — and that’s just for the polar bears alone. You don’t want to get her started on the drilling for oil. Mother Earth does not like having people stick things in her sensitive places, conservatives! Somebody needs to speak up. Because you conservatives certainly never hear the truth on the...

A few days after I watched the Mormons gorging themselves on a giant cheeseburger, Elder Cooper told me that he was being split up from his companion Elder Glover, and being moved to a different area. He was pretty annoyed about it, and told us that he would break protocol by not telling the new missionaries moving in to the area about us, and keeping contact himself. After this, I had no contact with any Mormons for a few weeks before I finally received a call and then a visit from the new missionaries to the area. I had called...

After the last three years of President Obama's graphics and poster art that evokes the style of graphics used in communist propaganda someone in the Old Media has finally discovered the similarity between today's political graphics and communist styled propaganda art. And on top of that another we see another member of the Media calling us all "tea baggers" So which of Obama's posters is the L.A. Times saying is like commie art? Is it the "Hope" poster where Obama stares off into the distance like a communist leader attempting to inspire confidence in the viewer? Is it one of...

Ever since Glenn Beck took to the Fox television airwaves recently to offer a bizarre reading of the art commissioned 70 years ago for New York's Rockefeller Center, I've been puzzled by the graphic design element of his 9-12 Project. The logo (pictured) for his affiliated groups' rally in Washington, D.C., this weekend derives from century-old communist, socialist and other left-wing designs. Those were the motifs he railed against in his Rockefeller rant. For the logo, three raised and clenched red fists are superimposed over the U.S. Capitol. Obviously the bloody fist represents the tea-baggers' themes of unity and resistance....

This is just a great pass-around youtube for friends and opponents a like, a funny youtube musical-comedy set to the theme from Chorus Line. It makes the point, but not in a mean way. Highly recommended.

Bought a lotto ticket. It's lucky. I just know. No doubt I'm a winner Soon rolling in the dough. I'll spend, now, on credit And buy a fancy car, Take a nice vacation, Hang with the movie stars. They announce the winner. Expect my lucky break. Someone else's numbers -- There must be a mistake. I didn't win no lotto, man. I didn't win no lotto, man. Forget all retirement plans. No, I didn't win no lotto, man.

Pittsburgh, PA – In a semi-private hospital room in this working-class town Edward Cherthoff lies in bed surrounded by his family, friends and his pastor. A steel worker most of his life Edward is used to being the strong one for his family but these days, connected to a myriad of machines that do for him what his own body is no longer capable of doing. His breathing is labored as he tries to speak, even when not trying to choke back the tears, as he recounts the trials that have taken their toll on him.

I did a search and didn't see this YouTube posted. Rush did this parody on his show today and it's up on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9HS8n8Y4qo

Here is audio (above with slideshow) of a new Paul Shanklin parody song lampooning President Obama's Health Care Plan. It's to the tune "Short People," but talks about "Old People" and "Fat People." Rush Limbaugh played it on his radio show earlier this week (see video below, starting at the 2:40 mark) . . . . (Watch Video)

As a world exclusive, this blog alone can tell you what is exactly on Barack Obama's birth certificate, because Barack Obama recorded exactly what was on his birth certificate. I will not go into if it was Kenyan, British Columbian or if it was Hawaiian as that is not the point of this investigation. What is the point is we know from Barack Obama hisself, exactly what his birth certificate looked like. I can tell you that he was so troubled by it, that he his first thought was it caused a fight between Stanley Ann and Barack sr. First...

I hadn’t watched any of progressive “watchdog” group Media Matters‘ “Two Minutes Hate” series of videos before tonight. At NewsReal we primarily keep an eye on the cable news shows rather than an ear on talk radio. Out of morbid curiosity, I decided to take a look and see what nuggets of “hate” Media Matters had supposedly unearthed. The clip above features excerpts from such conservative talkers as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Lou Dobbs. I’m never really been a regular listener to talk radio — it’s just not my style — but it was honestly quite shocking. Is that...

A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters. The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'. The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared...

(CNN) Celebrity News Network - Now with More Holograms! - August 13, 2038 He was the first black President of the United States, and he also became its last President when in 2019, after his term in office had been extended indefinitely by HR:0666 or “The Hope and Faith in Obama’s Everlasting Presidency Act” (Holo-Link), he was forced to leave office because the government had run out of money to pay for itself. Though he lived a very public life, few could agree on even the basic facts of his life, such as where he was born, who his father...

Announce the biggest shovel-ready project in U. S. history: The Great Wall of Mexico, built by 500,000 imported Chinese laborers doing jobs no American would. OBAMA: Interesting. The border fanatics would rally ‘round me. And service industries in the Southwest would see boom times. But how would this sit with Mexico? AXELROD: The Mexican government is irrelevant, sir. We’d co-opt the drug lords who control the border by offering them access to a huge...

In restless dreams I walked aloneNarrow streets of cobblestone, neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lightThat split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe...

Obama Says Sotomayor’s “Castrate White Males” Comment Taken Out of ContextJune 2, 2009WASHINGTON - President Obama said that comments by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in a 2004 speech in which she called for the “castration of all white males until they no longer hold power,� have been “taken out of context� by right wing ideologues. In the speech delivered to the San Juan chapter of NOW, Sotomayor said, “I want to be perfectly clear about this next comment so that there is no mistaking that my words mean something other than what they plainly say:  the time has come to limit white male oppression by castrating every white...

THE ENTREPENEURIAL SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE CRUISE LINE INDUSTRY.... I was checking cruise lines because I heard the rates are very cheap right now. I fou nd a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan ) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania ). The cost is a bit high @ 800 per person double occupancy but I didn't find that offensive. What I found encouraging and enlightened is that the cruise is encouraging people to bring their 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise. If you don't have weapons you can rent them right...

Chapter 17 - Senior Undersecretary Delores Umbridge Senior Undersecretary Delores Umbridge, chairperson of the Wizengamot has allowed the power of her position to go to her head. But all is not well. Lucius Malfoy approaches her with a problem. Not only that, but in spite of the Dementorcrats' blustering about how using the Cruciatus Curse on Guantanaban prisoners is bad, Umbridge knew about it for years. Although Voldemort decided to use the idea, it wouldn't be able to save her. More trouble was brewing. Not only had Umbridge used Ministry broomsticks for personal travel, she had regularly requested larger broomsticks...

The success of singer Susan Boyle on the reality show "Britain's Got Talent" has caused both television networks and their viewers to reconsider the intrinsic value of ugly people, media experts say. In living rooms around the world as well as in the executive suites of media giants, those exposed to the Susan Boyle phenomenon are grappling with the paradox - thought impossible up until now - that an ugly person could be talented. In New York, NBC chief Jeff Zucker confirmed that his network was "seriously considering" lifting its official ban against featuring unattractive people on the air. "For...
